Phil Batchelor, County Administrator, commented on the recommendations contained in the report and the impacts of the Phase II reductions on certain County services. (A copy of the report is attached and included as a part of this Board order. ) Following comments of Board members, the Chair declared the hearing open on the proposed County Budget for the 1993-1994 fiscal year. (A list of the persons who spoke follows at the end of this Board Order. ) All persons desiring to speak having been heard, the Chair declared the hearing closed. At the beginning of the discussion, Supervisor Smith advised that he would not participate in the discussion or voting on anything relating to hospital, clinic, and/or physician decisions because of possible conflict of interest. During the discussion, there was concurrence among Board members to first vote on those recommendations and issues that were not related to the hospital, clinics, or physicians. The Board then addressed the $3 .3 million County deficit. It was proposed that the County Administrator be directed to explore savings that could be realized through elimination of vacation buy-back, merit/step increases, and sick leave buy-back, and establishment of a mandatory time off (MTO) program. It was noted that these issues are subject to meet and confer. Supervisor McPeak advised that she could support the above proposal if "establishment of mandatory time off" is replaced by "and the establishment of other measures. " The Board then took the following actions as one motion: 1. ADOPTED the recommendations contained in the July 30, 1993 , report of the County Administrator with the following modi- fications: A. DEFERRED the proposed Phase II cuts for the Antioch Homeless Shelter ($335, 000) ; Juvenile Hall mental health services ($130, 000) ; Battered Women's Alternative and Rape Crisis Center contracts ($158, 000, as contained in Recommendation No. 10. - 1 - • `y B. APPROVED recommended alternatives under Recommendation No. 11, except the We Care and YMCA contract which should be funded from revenues anticipated as a result of medical care reimbursement for the General Chemical incident. C. CLARIFIED that the Center for Human Development contract is not specific to any one program area, but an across- the-board cut of all their Health Services Department contracts. 2. AUTHORIZED the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to sign a letter to the Governor recommending that the two current vacancies on the Municipal Courts not be filled pending an evaluation of their continued need. i 3 . REFERRED to the Finance Committee, the issue of the current workload imbalance between the Municipal Court Districts and the feasibility of consolidating both administration and the benches. 4. DIRECTED the County Administrator and the Personnel Director to look as fully as possible at self-insurance and a county run "claims checking" of the dental benefits program, including any required meet and confer, and to provide the Board with a report on potential savings. 5. DIRECTED the County Administrator and General Services Administration to evaluate the feasibility of lighting retrofit for County building, including initial investment, payback period and savings and to report back to the Board of Supervisors. 6. DIRECTED the Social Service Department to track savings from the General Assistance Work Incentive program and to apply savings to augment services to help General Assistance clients to obtain employment. 7. DIRECTED the County Administrator and Probation Department to work with the schools to develop and implement a program for probation officers to work directly within the schools. 8. DIRECTED the County Administrator to explore savings that could be realized through elimination of vacation buy-back, merit/step increases, and sick leave buy-back and the establishment of other measures; recognizing, however, that these issues are subject to meet and confer and, even if agreement is reached with the employee organizations, it would not be possible to realize a full year's savings for them; and REQUESTED the employee organizations to respond as quickly as possible to these issues in order to minimize employee reductions. The vote on this motion was as follows: Ayes: Supervisors Powers, Smith*, Bishop, McPeak, Torlakson *Noes: Supervisor Smith on that part of the motion relating to libary cuts. 2 r The Chair then called for a vote on any part of the eight actions above (including the recommendations of the County Administrator as set forth in the attached report) that related to the County Hospital, clinics, or physicians. (Supervisor Smith left the podium, thereby removing himself from the proceedings. ) The vote was as follows: Ayes: Supervisors Powers, Bishop, McPeak, Torlakson Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: Supervisor Smith. Noting that the above action have cut the libraries, Mr. Batchelor recommended that the Board authorize the County Librarian to contact all of the cities as to their willingness to restore or pay for library services and to report to the Board on August 17, 1993 . Supervisor Torlakson proposed that school districts also be contacted to assist with either staffing or funding some part of library services to accommodate students after school. The Board then REFERRED to the Finance Committee the issue of securing funding for library services from the cities and school districts. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Supervisors Powers, Smith, Bishop, McPeak, Torlakson Noes: None Absent: None Abstain: None The Board then REQUESTED the County Administrator to report on September 28, 1993, on any additional savings identified beyond the deficit that would enable restoration of some Public Health, the two counselor positions, and library services.
